Systems And Methods For Planning Placement Of An Acetabular Implant For A Patient Based On Pelvic Tilt

2. The system of claim 1, wherein the first functional position is further defined as a standing position.

3. The system of claim 2, wherein the second functional position is further defined as a seated position, a squat position, or a bending position.

5. The system of claim 4, wherein the system controller is configured to correlate the initial sensor tilt angle to the image-based pelvic tilt angle when the first measurement is taken substantially simultaneously with one or more x-ray images of the patient being captured to determine the image-based pelvic tilt angle.

6. The system of claim 4, wherein the system controller is configured to correlate the initial sensor tilt angle to the image-based pelvic tilt angle when the first measurement is taken at a time that is different than when one or more x-ray images of the patient are captured to determine the image-based pelvic tilt angle.

7. The system of claim 1, wherein the system controller is operable to establish the image-based pelvic tilt angle by one or more of: receiving the image-based pelvic tilt angle after being input by a user; retrieving the image-based pelvic tilt angle from memory; or measuring the image-based pelvic tilt angle on an image or model.

8. The system of claim 1, wherein the one or more sensors are operable to provide one or more additional measurements taken, in the image-free mode, and with the patient in one or more additional functional positions, different than the first and second functional positions.

9. The system of claim 1, wherein the one or more sensors are operable to provide a plurality of additional measurements taken, in the image-free mode, and while the patient moves through a plurality of functional positions to produce dynamic pelvic tilt data.

10. The system of claim 1, wherein the system controller is operable to determine whether the patient requires one or more x-ray images to be taken based on the second measurement.

11. The system of claim 1, wherein the one or more sensors are further defined as a pelvic sensor to be placed on a back of the patient, wherein the pelvic sensor includes an inertial measurement unit to measure a pelvic tilt angle of the patient.

12. The system of claim 1, wherein the system controller is operable to analyze a range of motion of the patient based on the patient-specific data and identify any impingement.

13. The system of claim 1, wherein the one or more sensors are operable to measure rotation of a patient.

14. The system of claim 13, wherein the one or more sensors are operable to measure twisting of a pelvis of the patient.

15. The system of claim 1, wherein the system controller is operable to establish the image-based pelvic tilt angle for the first functional position based on one or more x-ray images captured with the patient in the first functional position.
